Isaiah and Paul "In Concert" in the Letter to the Romans
ä¸ç¼ï¼- Novum Testamentum, Supplements, å·ï¼ 101

ï¼
In this text-critical, literary, and theological investigation of Paul's interpretation of Isaiah in Romans, it is argued that Paul's citations and allusions evince sustained and careful attention to significant portions of Isaiah, in concert with other scriptural voices.
Through a radical rereading of Isaiah, Paul appropriates these prophetic oracles as prefigurations of his own mission to Gentiles while simultaneously appealing to Isaiah as a witness to God's continuing fidelity to Israel.
The book examines each of Paul's citations and allusions to Isaiah, situating them both within the milieu of early Jewish interpretive practices and within the context of Paul's unfolding argument in Romans. This volume contributes to the current debate about early Christian interpretation of scripture by tracing the complex and dynamic interrelationship in Paul's letter of Scripture, theology, and mission.

'All in all, this is a well-done study that makes a significant contribution to the growing literature on Paulâs use of the Scriptures of Israel. [..] ..this book should be considered in any future discussion of Paulâs use of the Scriptures of Israel, especially but not only Isaiah.'
Kenneth Litwak, Review of Biblical Literature, 2006
'Wagnerâs study is essential reading not only for scholars interested in Paulâs use of Scripture but for anyone involved in the study of Paulâs thought. [..] Wagnerâs book remains one of the best books to appear in many years on Paulâs use of the Jewish Scriptures.'
Christopher Stanley, Review of Biblical Literature, 2006
'â¦einen diskussionswürdigen Beitrag zur Debatte über das Konzept der Intertextualität bei Paulusâ¦'
Florian Wilk, Theologische Literaturzeitung, 2005.
'Wagnerâs dissertation constitutes a solid piece of work, in which the great importance of the book of Isaiah for Pauline theology is taken very seriouslyâ¦Wagner writes with the clarity and maturity of a veteran scholar, not often seen in dissertations (and this is also a tribute to Moody Smith, Wagnerâs doctoral father). Not only is an important theme in an important epistle clarified, Wagner has also presented readers with a model in the study of inter-textuality. Readers will also be impressed with Wagnerâs skills in handling ancient languages, including not only the usual languages of the Biblie, but Syriac as well.'
